Best Practices for Reduction of Methane and Black Carbon from Arctic Oil and Gas Production
Methane and black carbon are important short-term climate pollutants. Changing technology and climate change itself have increased the amount of oil and gas production activities in the Arctic region and this trend is expected to accelerate, with the potential for yet more methane and black carbon emissions from this activity….

Geologic Carbon Storage Through Enhanced Oil Recovery
The advancement of carbon capture technology combined with carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) holds the promise of reducing the carbon footprint of coal-fired power plants and other industrial sources, while at the same time boosting production of oil. CO2 injection in deep formations has a long track record….

Working Paper: A Time Horizon for Counting Bioenergy Emissions
In a working paper funded by CATF, Timothy Searchinger, the lead author of several seminal publications on the climate impact of biofuels, analyzes the appropriate timeframe in which to measure bioenergy’s net GHG emissions. Searchinger concludes that even a 20-year timeframe is generous, and considers the broader implications for bioenergy’s…

Brick Kilns Performance Assessment: A Roadmap for Cleaner Brick Production in India
India is the second largest producer of clay fired bricks, accounting for more than 10 percent of global production. India is estimated to have more than 100,000 brick kilns, producing about 150-200 billion bricks annually, employing about 10 million workers and consuming about 25 million tons of coal annually. India’s…

The Nuclear Decarbonization Option: Profiles of Selected Advanced Reactor Technologies
We live in a world divided by many issues, but most policy-makers accept the basic premise that increasing the availability of affordable low-carbon energy would make the world healthier, wealthier, and safer. Conventional fuel delivery systems are strained in many regions, the global geopolitics of energy supply are fraught, and…
